Andy,
In regards to your statement concerning that there are regulations governing the use and modification of equipment, I would like to see the SS manual and or documentation for what you are talking about.
1. Saw tooth bayonets were outlawed by the Genieva Convention; however the SS/VT & SS/TV continued to use them.
2. Did you see anything in the SS Bayonet Regulations regarding the Stamping of KL Property marks in the grips?
3. As per the SS Nederland Bayonet, did you consider that it might be a divisional directive, or a batallion directive to have the SS Nederland Insignia inserted into the bayonet grips. The SS Nederland bayonet could also be for the color guard & or Traditions group.
As I said, I had to purchase the tunic, belt, and bayonet. The owner collector would not split the group.
